Tips for the Audiophiles

I've just seen this excellent audio installation in a Westfield




Should be able to drown out any tune with 30mph + wind noise

Ive tried wearing an ipod in my car (i have an i-jacket for the prupose) and that isnt a high volume. I bet those speakers are almost crap. To me a good helmet system is required.


How do Goldwings achieve decent sounds?
As you are alluding too - what was that owner thinking of? good for picinic - crap on the road.

Note the press studs though, stereo is probably worth using with the hood up.

I did notice that, but the driver will still need to stop the change the channel/volume as it behind the shoulder

Ive got my ipod wired directly to an amp and some speakers wedged in the "boot" and its pretty loud! doubt I'll hear it properly on the track though!

Best bit of kit I have bought for a long time
They will act as earplugs as well, even in the loudest of motors bet you wont have the vol even at 1/2 way up
Odd the way you can hear the bass at freq's that you would normaly associate with being able to feel in the chest!!

Takes a bit of practice getting them to sit/seal right in the ear canal, but mine are nice and comfy even under a helmet



These you mean

Bargain. Are they really that good. i have some philips earphones that are better than the std ones. I also have PSP and the std earphones with that are chronic.

If you need a radio,
then you have installed the wrong engine...

Mine had some sealed enclosure mylar speakers in the fairing and a little sub in the top box - suprisingly good up to 80mph then I switched to the helmet system.

On my trip to Cannes 18 months ago, I fitted an amp under the scuttle and a pair of 9" speakers to the top of the transmission tunnel to alleviate the boredom of a 1000 mile journey. They were CRAP. At anything over 60mph, you couldn't hear anything. When you stopped at traffic lights / peage terminals, you and a dozen other drivers were deafened!!
Stereos just aint a seven thang!!

When building mine i fitted a stereo, biggest mistake i made , sorting it now though with a new interior.

I think you can safely remove the "almost" from that statement
